| Mattis Orders Full Review Of Any Military Training That Has Nothing To Do With Warfighting |
| 2017-07-27 |
| [DAILYCALLER] Secretary of Defense James Mattis has ordered a full review of any military training not directly relevant to warfighting. Mattis told the services to conduct a review of the "requirements for mandatory force training that does not directly support core tasks," according to a Friday memo obtained by Military Times. In other words, Mattis wants a full examination of all the hours of burdensome, irrelevant training service members have to undergo before deployment. "I want to verify that our military policies also support and enhance warfighting readiness and force lethality," Mattis said. Mattis also asked for a review into what should be done about permanently non-deployable service members. The memo states that the review will be headed by a working group under the Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel and readiness, a position currently occupied by Anthony M. Kurta. While President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... recently tapped Robert Wilkie for the job, Wilkie has not yet been confirmed by the Senate. Mattis has recently involved himself in various personnel issues, particularly by encouraging Congress to block an amendment by GOP Rep. Vicky Hartzler to the annual defense budget bill that would have prevented Department of Defense funds from being used to pay for transgender medical treatments. Hartzler’s amendment failed after 24 Republicans voted against it. Recommendations from the new review Mattis has set in motion are due by Dec. 1, 2018. |

| #6 I think he's got his eye on all of those diversity sensitivity trainings and stuff that Ash and his SJWs put into the program under the empty suit. |

| #4 Picking up cigarette butts at battalion HQ was always a crap detail. Somehow I think that will survive since that isn't considered "Training" |

| #3 ..that's the Air Force, about as close to civie work we have. Nothing destroys a good soldier as that kind of 'detail'. Bad soldiers on the other hand..... |

| #1 Given that Congress repealed the prohibition on women in combat, all the EEO personnel should be reclassified immediately to 11B and sent post haste to the front. |
